Curvature of the base manifold of a Monge-Ampère fibration and its existence (Q6093613)

The curvature property of the moduli space of a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds is an important research topic in complex geometry. According to Alhfors, for the moduli space of curves, there exists a classical Weil-Petersson metric which is Kähler and the Ricci curvature, the holomorphic sectional curvature and the scalar curvature are negative. In the present paper the authors consider a special relative Kähler fibration that satisfies a homogenous Monge-Ampère equation, which is called a Monge-Ampère fibration. On the base manifold of this fibration there exist two canonical types of generalized Weil-Petersson metrics. For the second generalized Weil-Petersson metric, the authors obtain an explicit curvature formula and prove that the holomorphic bisectional curvature is non-positive, the holomorphic sectional curvature, the Ricci curvature, and the scalar curvature are all bounded from above by a negative constant. Computations are very extensive and quite difficult. Also, for a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold, it is shown that it admits a projectively flat Hermitian structure if and only if the associated projective bundle fibration is a Monge-Ampère fibration.
